I haven't had a chance to play with my light tent in a while, so I wanted to mess with that instead of moving outside to find a nice macro. Plus it's cold right now :)
This is simply a sheet of bubble wrap, folded to look like it's a roll. This is in the light tent, with a black sheet as the underside/background. I noticed that the best macro shots out there seem to have a lot of color to them, so I don't expect this to do super well.
To get the macro portion of this shot, I used a 31mm extension tube on my 70-300 lens. It's interesting how I could use the focal length to focus when in manual focus mode.
